Question

A stimulus has opened the voltage-gated sodium channels in an area of a neuron's plasma membrane. as a result, _____ rushes into the neuron and diffuses to adjacent areas; this in turn results in the _____ in the adjacent areas

Answer 1

The answer to this question would be: sodium; opening of voltage-gated sodium channels

When the membrane potential rises above the threshold, the natrium voltage-gated sodium channels will be opened. This will allow the movement of sodium to the cells. Because the concentration of sodium outside the cell is much higher than inside the cells, the sodium will flow into the cells.
